Scientific Research Institute of Forensic Expertise is always trying to be one
step ahead. Using the capabilities of modern technology will improve the level
of expert work, help experts to quickly solve tasks, simplify certain tasks.
Specialists of the Laboratory for Engineering and Technical Research began to use
drones in conducting forensic examinations in 2016, and today we want to
provide this opportunity to experts in regional offices” said Tatiana Holikova.

Unmanned
aerial vehicles are widely used in the modern world to solve a wide variety of
scientific, applied, military, civil and other tasks. Drones are especially
popular during observation and monitoring.

According
to Ihor Chaliuk, a moderator of the event, Head of the Department for Quality
and Costing Studies on Road Construction Works of KFI, today, as part of the
engineering types of research, quadrocopters are used for visual inspection of
the research object; obtaining high-quality photos and videos from the field
survey of the object of study; perform orthophotomap plot; inspection of the
research object (area), if there is no possibility of personal inspection by an
expert, etc.

Within

received the equipment and conducted practical training course in the open air.

The
development of the state and civil society, forensic and other activities
directly depend on the efforts made by each person to implement the most
